Chapter 2: The Secret Discovered

Sonic went to this mysterious person all the nights at midnight, but Amy didn't notice anything. So, every night, he waited for his wife to fall asleep, then he got up, he wore something and went out only to come back for the first hours of the day. The days and the weeks passed, until a night...

It was about midnight. Amy was sleeping when she heard some noises. She didn't turn the light on, but she could see someone busy with some clothes...Sonic?

Amy was about to say something but stopped herself in time and stared at her husband that had put something on and had gone out. Why? Where he was going? Should her follow him?

Amy ran to the window in her nightdress and saw him: Sonic was crossing Time Street and going toward the outskirts. Not knowing what to do, Amy went back to bed. The day after, when she woke up, she found Sonic sleeping peacefully next to her. Now she had a doubt. Maybe she had dreamed about last night...or maybe not.

But, the night after, Amy found Sonic doing that again. This time, Amy stayed awake all the night and saw him come back home at five a.m. During the day, the two behaved normally. Amy was afraid to tell to Sonic that she knew about his exits, and Sonic was sure she didn't suspect anything. And this continued for a while.

A night, when Sonic was dressing, Amy called him.

"Sonic? Honey, where are you going at this time?" Sonic, who was about to fall for the fright, tried to reassured saying he was going on a walk 'cause he couldn't sleep. So, he and Amy came back to sleep together.

After that night, Sonic had to renounce to his exits for about a week, and that tranquillized Amy. But he restarted the week later. Amy now didn't worried about his husband and she slept regularly.

Some nights later, Amy noticed that again but this time she decided to follow Sonic. While he was in the bathroom to put something on, she was in the bedroom to put something on too. When Sonic went out, Amy waited a few minutes and followed him.

She followed him through Time Street and the outskirts, until they approached a gray building. She followed him to the fifth floor where she saw him knocking to a green door. When the door opened, a smile spread across Sonic's face as he entered in the apartment.

Wait a moment! Walking she didn't notice who lived in there! If she remembered right, in Wall Street, in the gray building, at the fifth floor, in the apartment number 14, there was...Sally Acorn!

Not wanting to faint, Amy slumped to the wall and reflected.

Why Sonic was to Sally's? Was he going to her all the nights? Or he had also other "people" to visit?

Amy was hurt and angry and decided to come back to her house. The morning after, she chose to forgive her husband. She loved him too much to punish him or do something else. And maybe she was wrong about him.

But the nights after, Amy continued to follow him, and after the same result, she was arrived to a sad conclusion: her husband betrayed her.
